Nobody is arguing that it's not ok, but consequences always exist regardless of conditions.

In this case, it's not about the FAA. An military base can choose not to prosecute once they investigate, but don't assume that they are just fine with strangers landing. Emergencies can be staged and, as stated, if there are sensitive combat and intel operations ongoing then it will be a serious incident.

This is no different than calling search and rescue to save your life, and then getting a bill afterwards. Still an emergency, and still has consequences.
